The Ethnic Studies BA curriculum trains students to transform society and engage in real-world problem solving through a vibrant interaction with the intersectional histories and contributions of Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC). Ethnic Studies graduates cultivate cultural competency skills that are highly valued by employers, who serve increasingly diverse clientele. Our students find employment in a variety of fields including: law, teaching, journalism, marketing, community organizing and social work.<br>Ethnic Studies programs are designed to help students majoring in the liberal arts and sciences develop a sophisticated and broad understanding of ethnicity and its role in contemporary American society. They provide students with the theories and concepts needed to comprehend and interpret relations between and among ethnic groups in the United States. Students are better prepared to live and work in a diverse society when educational institutions foster a positive learning environment in which differences contained within various U.S. communities can be studied not as a social problem, as is often the case, but for their history of struggles and contributions.<br>The interdisciplinary nature of the ethnic studies program curriculum provides students the opportunity, through academic investigation, to develop a greater understanding of the cultural diversity of the present-day United States and to acquire skills needed in professional and social service fields. This multidisciplinary, comparative approach to contemporary and historical research methodologies provides the basis for students to analyze the diverse social, economic, political and cultural facets of ethnic groups in the United States. Special emphasis is given to new perspectives that recover the history, creative expression of underrepresented groups.
